Ecology/Peregrine Falcon Habitat [edit]. Peregrine falcons can be found in open habitats such as grasslands, tundra and meadows. They can also be found in deserts and at elevation from sea level to 12,000 feet. They prefer open areas because these areas complement the peregrine falcons’ hunting behaviors.They are most common in tundra and coastal areas.eregrine falcons primarily prey on small birds and occasionally small mammals, lizards and insects. When preying on birds, the peregrine falcon attacks and kills its prey in mid flight, then brings it to a perch to feed. Smaller prey items, such as bats and insects can be eaten in mid flight.

Answers From the Peregrine Falcon Expert Q. What kind of nests do they make? A. Falcons do not make nests like most birds, but often they use the old nests of other birds, like eagles or crows. Peregrine falcons nest on cliffs and usually just find a nice ledge or cave, and lay their eggs in a little depression on the cave or ledge floor.
